Ryan Gosling is a bit of a Ken in real life as well. The actor is known for being the perfect on-screen romance hero and knows how to show appreciation for his lady love with the sweetest gestures in real life too. At the receiving end is his longtime partner and actress Eva Mendes. People may know them for keeping their love life very private, but this grand gesture spoke loudly.

When the 42-year-old decided to play Ken in Barbie, he wanted people to pay attention to the underrated character. But his passion for the muscular man in pink was channeled in his real life as well. Here is how the actor represented the Ken spirit for his real-life Barbie at the premiere of the movie.

Ryan Gosling floored Eva Mendes with a sweet gesture at the Barbie premiere

For those who doubted the casting of Ryan Gosling for Barbie, his recent action proved why he is the best. The actor appeared in shades of pink at Barbie’s premiere in Los Angeles to promote the movie, while showing off why loyalty is heroic. He wore only one accessory, which was a necklace with the initial ‘E’ on it. E as fans know, stands for his partner Eva Mendes, with whom he shares two children.

The ‘Hitch‘ actress noticed his gesture and took to social media to appreciate it. She started the #ThatsMyKen trend to show her love and support for her partner’s role.  They have always been secretive about their life, barring a few mentions over the last few years. They first met on the sets of The Place Beyond the Pines in 2011, although there is still no confirmation of whether they are married.

This was not the only appearance where Gosling got creative. Every cast member, including Greta Gerwig, has been curating their outfits.

The Barbie premieres have been super exciting as the movie nears

As the excitement for Barbie vs Oppenheimer grows, the cast members of the Greta Gerwig movie have been painting the world in pink. For their UK premiere, Ryan Gosling wore a powder blue coat while Margot Robbie wore a silky pink dress, long gloves, and a pearl necklace.

As Ryan Gosling stole the show with his E necklace, Robbie wore a long, shiny black dress during the Los Angeles event. Their movie Barbie is set to release on the 21st of July.
